The Federation of Cappedore is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Austin Merrill with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, devout population of 15.25 billion Cappedorites enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Absolution. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Cappedorite economy, worth a remarkable 1,363 trillion cappes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,398 cappes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The dead are minced up and sold to people in burger form, the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Cappedorite democracy, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cappedore's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Cappedore is ranked 302,076th in the world and 4,826th in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -8.6 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
